“Base Radar at the army’s 509th airfield outside the town of Roswell had been tracking strange blips all night on July 1, 1947... The blips would appear on one corner of the screen and dart across at seemingly impossible speeds for aircraft...Throughout that night and the following day, Army Intelligence stayed on high alert because something strange was going on out there...the Willmonts watched in awe as a bright oval object streaked over there house and headed into the northwest, sinking below a rise just before the horizon”(Corsco, 8,9). Does it make you wonder what that object was streaking across the sky? Why do the large complex patterns in cornfields called crop circles occur? What happened in Kecksberg, Pennsylvania that caused army and government officials to secure a rural forest and later transport a large unknown object out of it? (“The Unexplained: Extraterrestrials, A & E Networks). What is to blame for the strange sightings of unidentified flying objects, or unaccountable abductions? A great number of these strange and eerie happenings can indeed be blamed on alien and extraterrestrial life. One of the most famous supposed extraterrestrial incidents was the Roswell incident.
“In the star light of the military searchlights, Arnold saw the entire landscape of the crash...it was like no airplane he had ever seen... He angles himself as close to the split seam of the craft as he could without getting in front of the workers with hazardous material suits who where checking the site for radiation. That is when he saw them in the shadows. Little gray figures” (Corsco,14). On that July 4th evening in 1947, according to the retired Colonel, Phillip J. Corsco, he tells his story that the government recovered the unidentified craft, and found several dead alien bodies. The government military personnel even killed a surviving creature that tried to escape. Most surprisingly, they captured a living alien being. According to Col. Corsco, who worked in the research and development program for the government, one of the main reasons the government covered the story up is because the craft had technology that no one had seen. They kept it secret within the government and only between scientists and officials they knew and could trust. They did not want the technology to fall into the hands of the Russian KGB, or any spies. ...

...st glance, you might feel that it is not a credible source. However, it was written by a very high ranking army intelligence officer. Whether he is lying or telling the truth, you have to decide. As for the crop circles, it is a very controversial subject. Because there are so many different crop circles that appear, there is no doubt that many are indeed hoaxes. However, do you believe that thousands of crop circles could be created every year by hoaxers? Similar to crop circles, UFO sightings are also controversial. Many pictures are easily faked with basic photography. Are all of the enormous number of pictures, video footage and sightings fake? Do you believe that none of the evidence collected related to extraterrestrial activity is legitimate? It is certainly an important topic because if aliens are indeed visiting the planet, we need to find out what they want. They could be coming to simply expand their knowledge of the universe, or they could be coming to take over the planet. If we all don’t take interest, we could end up at the mercy of a far more advanced civilization.

UFOs: Are They Real?
UFOs, what are they? Where do they come from? Just about everyone in the world has heard of people witnessing strange things in the sky, or stories about people being abducted by aliens. UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) are not a recent phenomenon; they have taken place in literature, films, television, and even in the bible, when prophet Ezekiel said that he saw a great cloud with flashing lights surrounded by a bright

lights and went at a speed faster than any airplane you have ever seen before. What you may have seen was an unidentified flying object, or a UFO. These are some of the characteristics people have applied to UFO sightings. Other typical descriptions include shapes in a fog, haze, or a strange illumination with no apparent explanation. This is the “Night of the UFO.”
The story begins with the first well-known sighting in 1947. Kenneth Arnold said he saw nine high-speed objects near Mount Rainier in

The Possible Secrecy of UFOs
Unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, are one of the most controversial mysteries known to mankind. From ancient to present times, unidentified objects have been seen in the sky by millions of people. The question is, of course, what is it that we are seeing in our skies? Are they foreign spacecrafts from distant planets, merely Air Force experiments, or only our imagination? Many people believe that extraterrestrial life is existent and far more advanced then us.

Area 51 first became popular in the 1950’s when it was created, and shortly after when many UFO sightings were reported there. Area 51 was created by the U.S. Government as a place to test top secret military weapons, especially military aircraft (“Groom Lake Air Force Base - Area 51”). It is located in a remote part of the desert in Nevada. None of the public is allowed inside of area 51 and no one knows what truly exists inside the gates, and what the government and the military are hiding

creatures and spaceships that look like plates made from foil could come from other planets, let alone live on them. Well, that actually might be true. There are people who believe in them and there are people who don’t, so the question remains- Do UFOs really exist, and have they been on Earth?
Aliens don’t always have the image everyone else thinks they have (“Unidentified flying object”). Most people have always thought or have been told that Aliens are little, green slimy creatures that have

Thus the government of the United States decided to lie to its citizens. Extraterrestrials exist and have visited our planet. The United States government as well as many other worldwide governments have proof of UFO existence but are afraid to release this information to the general public. It is up to the general public to examine the evidence and decide whether UFO’s exist. If the government is going to continue a policy of denial then the citizens must begin

Is there life out there in the great beyond? It is a question that many of us have asked, but there is no real answer, no tangible evidence to validate the existence of other intelligent beings. All we have are so-called experiences that earthly people have had with these beings, like me. I remember, as a child, I stayed awake late one night. I was lying in bed admiring the stars outside my window when I saw a bright light in the distance. It moved in impossible ways I could not explain, even

Ball lightning has occasionally been used as an explanation for UFO sightings. As such, it has not been a very successful explanation because the reported behavior of ball lightning is not like that of reported UFOs, not to mention that very few UFO sightings occur during thunderstorms.
One of the most interesting things about ball lightning is its similarity to the UFO phenomenon. In both we have a phenomenon whose appearance we can't predict and whose origin we

THere have been many UFO sightings above and near Stonehenge. The people who have reported the sightings believe that what they saw, photographed, and witnessed were without a doubt UFOs or extraterrestrials. Many people support the fact that Stonehenge was built with the help of Aliens. Their reason for thinking this is possible is the size of the stones
